CAMDEN - Three Camden County police officers have been removed from street duty after a video showed an apparent assault on a suspect, a department spokesman said Tuesday.

"An independent investigation will be conducted by the Camden County Prosecutor's Office in regard to this incident," spokesman Dan Keashen said.

The video, made public by NBC 10, appears to show an officer repeatedly punching 32-year-old Edward Minguela, according to Devon Jacob, the man's attorney.

Two other officers appear to hold down the Camden man during the incident around 8 p.m. Thursday on Collings Road near New Hampshire Road. the lawyer asserted.

"Mr. Minguela was walking home from a store when officers approached him with guns drawn, while they were purportedly investigating an anonymous tip of a person carrying a gun," Jacob said.

The lawyer asserted Minguela "was not armed or engaging in any unlawful conduct." He said the man "fully complied with the officers’ commands to raise his arms, but he was beaten and injured anyway.”

According to Jacob, Minguela sought medical care the next morning and was diagnosed "with a concussion, broken wrist and extensive bruising."

The attorney said Minguela was charged with resisting arrest and obstruction.

“I am calling on the prosecutor to dismiss the criminal charges immediately,” he said.

Keashen called the video "extremely disturbing" and said it was "not consistent with our policy, training and standards."

"We are taking this video very seriously and it will be addressed," Keashen said.

He said the officers involved in the incident have been placed on administrative leave during the investigation. The officers' names were not released.

The prosecutor's office said it learned of the incident Monday and that it could not comment on an internal affairs investigation.

“This Office is dedicated to the improvement of the delivery of police services and assures all citizens that complaints of police misconduct are properly and promptly addressed,” it said in a statement.
